was to be built sufficient to protect

or "Ohio Land Company" They at
once sent out Christopher Gist as a
surveyor, to explore the country and
! find the hest land. He started in
! October, 1850, crossed the Ohio near
Pittshurg, thence went to the mouth of
the Beaver river, and from there across
the country to the Tuscarawas river,
which he reached on the 9th Of Deeem-
ber at a point opposite Bolivar, accord
ing to Mr.. Mitchener. On the 9TH he
crossed the river and found the Indians
in the French interest. Following the
river south he came TO another Indian
village, OH the 14th, near the junction
of the Tuscarawas and White Woman
rivers, which contained about 100 fami-
lies, a portion in the French and por-
tion in the English interest. Here he
met Andrew Montour, q half breed, and
George Croghan, an English trader,
who had their headquarters in this
town. The French had lately taken
several English traders, and Mr.. Crog-
han had ordered all the white traders
to come into this town, and had also
sent runners to the traders in the iOwAr
towns; and the Indians had also sent
to their people to come and counsel
about the difficulty between the Eng
lish and French. Gist acquainted
Croghan and Montour of his business
with the Indians, and talked much of
a regulation of trade, with which they
were well pleased. The diary of Gist
at this date is very valuable. He gives
accounts of treaties, and customs
especially the curious custom of the
Indians whereby all their marriages
were dissolved, and the women were
permitted to choose their husbands
again. Gist and Croghan having ac-
cOmplished peace with the Indians
proceeded to the falls of the Ohio and
returned home by way of North

Milk.

A short word--only four letters-yet
what a tremendous significance it pos
sesses when we come to investigate the
interests and values that one brief word
represents. Tt is almost beyond COM
prehension, and were not the following
statistics carefully gathered from off
cial sources they would be deemed in
credible. 1t may well be said that our
American dairy interests are stal Ting
ly enormous as they represent an in
vestment of nearly five times as much
as the entire bank capital of the coun-
try; that is to say, the bank capital is q
little less than $671 900, 900, while the
dairy interests amount to more than
SO, 900, 100000. The number of milk
cows is estimated at 81 100000. They
give each an average of 800 gallons of
milk annually. This would make an
aggregate milk production of 1850, ,OOO,-
600 gallons, a miniature ocean, O fair
sized Niagara. Four thousand million
gallons are used for butter, 100000, 900
for cheese, and the remaining 2, 1856 ,OO0,-
900 pass through the adulterating hands
of the milkman and grocer and down
the throats of 60,000,0 600 men, women
and babies in this land of freedom.-
The quantity of butter manufactured
and used is about 1850, 100000 pounds,
and of cheese 6,5O0,00O pounds. The
value of our dairy products for the last
twelve months was nearly $500, 900, 900.
This is nearly SIC, 200, 900 more than the
value of our annual wheat yield, while
it closely approximates that Of our corn
crop, which is the most valuable of our
| farm products. To suDnort this inn
pasture land are required, worth ST.
500, 100000. 1t is easy enough to see,
therefore, that the 100000 farmers in
this country are an important element
of our national welfare and prosperity.
Great is the ''cow with the crumpled
horn, that tossed the dog that worried
the cat" that patiently at eventide
waited for the milking Of the COW with
the crumpled horn.

knows full well that protection Is

though il isa gallows respite, puts hun

effort will be made To KEEP it up. How
Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, was disposed

AS it is my purpose to show the farm
ers in practical shape and i'm detail the
taxes they are oppressed with on ae-
count of our swindling tariff system, l
shall give detailed list as far as I have
collected it. The tax monster is only
in its baby-hood now. But still it is as
follows: ...
Duty on lumber, 80 per 1000 feet.
Duty on screws, 80 per cent.
Duty ON nails, 30 per cent
Duty on paint, cents per pound. #r
Duty on states, 25 per cent.
mt
Duty IN plastcring, s6.ss per cent.
Duty on oil CLOTH 4Oper cent.
Duty on druggets, II .40per cent.
Duty on tapestry carpet, 9.ss pee cent.
Before get through with this shame
ful tariff swindle the list of taxation
will run up to several columns. I can
assure my ruaI friends that the real
taxation expose has hardly begun yet.
